Way Away
by Toad the Wet Sprocket
off the "Bread and Circus" CD
contributed by Ryan Houlette
(rhoulett@depauw.edu)
another in the "This is how I play it, guys" series
you should really hear the original song to get the rhythms right
[intro]
DEmG (3x)
(When you play the D, you should hammer on the A on the 3rd string)
[verse1]
DEmG
Line of people to pass you by,
DEmG
Posing sympathy with its whitewash eyes
DEmG
Ladies feigning their mourning cries
DEmG
And the men shaking hands
[ Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/toad_the_wet_sprocket/way_away_crd.html ]
[chorus]
AG
Weigh Away
AG
Way away
GC
All the pictures in your mind
G
As you're passed the thousandth time
EmG
Thousandth photograph
[verse2]
DEmG
Listen to sympathetic lies
DEmG
As their reasons change under mourning guise
DEmG
With the gentlemen feigning sorrowed sighs
DEmG
And drinking champagne
[chorus]
AG
Weigh Away
AG
Way away
GC
As all the people pass and pose
G
You hold back the tears and hold
EmG
On to memories
[verse3]
DEmG
Small talk hangs like a dirty cloud
DEmG
Saying nothing real but deafening loud
DEmG
An urge to run away from the crowd
DEmG
And mourn all alone
DEmG
Make a promise to no-one
DEmG
Wondering if you'd been worthwhile
DEmG
Turn away from the chatter
DEmG
And the hungry smiles
